The fungus candida causes a vaginal yeast infection. Your vagina naturally contains a balanced mix of yeast, including candida, and bacteria. Lactobacillus bacteria produce acid, which prevents yeast overgrowth. That balance can be disrupted and lead to a yeast infection. Too much yeast in your vagina causes vaginal itching, burning and other classic signs and symptoms of a yeast infection. Candida albicans is the most common type of fungus to cause yeast infections.

Yeast infections caused by other types of candida fungus can be more difficult to treat, and need more aggressive therapies.
